The tweet was retweeted on the official POTUS Twitter page, which is passed on to all presidents and archived. White House press secretary Sean Spicer has also described Trump’s tweets on his own account as “official statements by the president,” which are hardly private.

Twitter did not respond to a question asking if and how many people have complained about the tweet or felt threatened by it. The company also did not respond to a question about how Twitter would treat a video showing a man being pummeled whose head was replaced with the words “president” or “White House.”

Republican political operative Jack Posobiec tweeted a photo of an imagined staffer at the Republican National Committee (actually actor Jim Parsons in a scene from “The Big Bang Theory”) hyperventilating after the CNN video was posted by Trump. (The video appears to be a repurposed clip of Trump, then a reality TV star, appearing to beat up WWE owner Vince McMahon in 2007.)
